[compiz] [PATCH] plugin conflict between Minimize & Animation: add feature "windowanimations"

[Erkin Bahceci]

Hi,

The minimize plugin conflicts with Animation. For example, it doesn't
let Animation draw shade animations, and interferes with other window
event animations. The animation plugin now minimizes the relevant
effects to taskbar, so using the two plugins together doesn't make
sense anymore. Moreover, by default Animation is off, Minimize is on,
and when users enable Animation, naturally they don't know they should
disable Minimize, or they forget to do so, which results in bad
animations. (e.g. "magic lamp" zooming to taskbar). So here is a patch
to minimize's metadata to state that it provides a feature
"windowanimations", which Animation also provides, to ensure that they
are not used at the same time.

Any comments on the Fade patch by the way?

Regards,
Erkin
